My first post on 8 December 2005. Today is the 20th anniversary of this blog.
In fact, there was a web page, wdtprs.com, several years before I moved to a WordPress platform in 2005. Already in 2002 I was posting my column from The Wanderer, which looked like this.
By the time I started with WordPress the “archive” site looked like this in 2005.
Then it moved to this set up in December 2005.
There were quite a few awards back in the day.
By 2010 we looked like this…
The blog has remained with that basic theme ever since, with cosmetic changes here and there and rearranging.
Many ups and downs. Many blessings.
You, dear readers, are my greatest blessings.
Thank you.
Thanks also especially to DY who once had the company which came to the blog’s rescue in the early days. It grew so fast that it was crashing the server I had “rented” and the company kept killing my site. David stepped in and hosted wdtprs.com. If you have benefited from this site, you also have him to thank. Perhaps you will recite a decade of the Rosary for him. You can also check out his latest undertaking, which I use, Federated Computer which gets you out from under the tyranny of SaaS.

Many thanks – and, as I enjoy singing when visiting Church-Slavonic-speaking friends, “Mnogaya leta!”
20 years is about 2 lifetimes in the blogosphere. Incredible! Congratulations, and many happy returns.
Thank you for the immensely helpful and carefully explained details toward understanding the Church: her prayers, her teachings, and her rules.
thank you Father! you have been immensely helpful to me during many dark times. ad multos annos!
Dear Fr. Z.
It is not given to many to “hold the fort for so long”.
You have done so.
And done so, well.
You have done the Lord’s work under great duress and opposition.
Thank you.
Deo Gratias.
Cheers to you and to the blog, Fr. Z! Sometimes I still run into people who don’t know about it. And after picking my jaw up from the floor, I tell them to check it out immediately.
Happy blogiversary, Father! May God richly bless your efforts.
Ad multos annos!
Congratulations, Reverend Father, and many happy returns of the day! Your continued “accompaniment” of all of us via this electronic ministry is greatly appreciated. I thank you for your “Yes” to God’s call–and I thank God for making that call in the first place! Keep on running the race so as to win, and never stop reminding us to Go To Confession! Advent blessings to you.
Restore the hamster wheel!!!
